105k miles

Check your owner's manual. Or if you don't have one you can find maintenance schedules on Edmunds.com or even better, register your vehicle at www.myacura.com and you can download the manual.

 

yea around 100k mi. at the same time replace the spark plugs and valve adj.

 

Anyone have a DIY for this service? I'm sitting at 96k miles, so I have a bit of time.

 

keep it to the pros on this one.

 

Any particular reason? Does nobody actually work on their on cars here?

I'd consider myself a competent mechanic. (I've done engine rebuilds, head gaskets, and timing belts on other cars)

 

if its not in the user manual....

 

You will get a service reminder in your car and it usually is between 100 and 110 K miles.
My car is around 90K and I'm waiting for the reminder to pop up.
I already did the pluggs, engine oil, differential fluid, transmission fluid, cabin and engine air filters.
I am not savy enought to do the timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment.

 

Its a piece of cake really easy to do but I work at a honda dealer (for 30 years) and 3-4 a week it takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do plan on 5 hours at home you will need a crank pulley holding tool and a tool to hold the timing belt tensioner in it comes with a new honda or acura tensioner but not with most aftermarket ones other than that just follow the directions and make sure the timing marks are lined up and do not turn the engine or cam pulleys after belt is off you can do it yourself if you are mechanicly inclined it is easy for me but spelling is so hard and were do i put periods and capitols I think they call this a run on paragraph I will stick with fixing cars

 

Not sure if you've done this already but I've seen a really good how to video. I need to search for it and get back to you.

 

Okay here is the link to the you tube video of a 2001 MDX getting TB and WP replaced.
